(Success Story) 11 Candidates Cleared the UPSC Examination 2010 From Manipur
For
strife-torn Manipur, it was a day of jubilation on Thursday when 11 of its
candidates cleared the UPSC civil services examination 2010 along with 23 other
northeastern students. Manipur is the most troubled state in the region where
insurgency is part of one`s daily existence.
The successful candidates include grand-daughter of veteran Congress leader of
Manipur and the oldest member of Parliament, Rishang Keishing. Almost all these
candidates studied in Manipur but for higher studies branched out to other
cities, including the national capital.
Poor law and order situation was one of the key issues why they moved out.
Haulinalal Guite from Churchandpur district and now staying in New Delhi, stood

Guite, who completed his bachelor`s degree from St Stephen`s College, New Delhi,
